“In the entire world there are only a few sounds that bring joy to all but the most jaded. One is the murmur of a kitten purring. Another is the thwack of a well-pitched baseball hitting a perfectly swung bat. And the third is the pop of a cork being pulled from a bottle of wine.” —George Taber

I've had the pleasure of trying this and I quite enjoyed it. I'm still a novice at providing detailed/descriptive tasting notes, but I can say this...

The nose is sweet, however, this wine is surprisingly dry on the palate. It is very smooth and well balanced. Not at all metallic tasting like other rosés can be. This is a great everyday wine to enjoy on a summer day.

I'm definitely in for one, but I don't need 6 bottles. Anyone in the Twin Cities interested in a split?

I'm a huge fan of the Paso wineries: Peachy Canyon, Vina Robles (discovered via wine.woot in its early days), and others. In for two, because a case is better than a half case. Looking forward to trying this out. We will pay the winery a visit next time we drive down.

do they still do the labrat? I never got super shipping speed to taste and post reviews.

The 4% Viognier helps add structure (body, mouthfeel) and achieve the desired coloration. The 1% Orange Muscat gives it just a little hint of sweetness with some citrus notes. 0.1 residual sugar is generally considered the threshold of detectability, and 0.12 is barely above that threshold so this wine should be fairly dry.

Agree that the pH looks a little high but the TA is also high, which somewhat offsets the pH, or at least it should afa the perception of acidity on the palate.

The alcohol distributer s lobby is ridiculous that they get these type of laws passed.
